NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)


The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory
contains the following memory areas for the user:
NV graphics memory
User NV memory
Memory switches (customized value)
User-defined page
Maintenance counter
NV memory can be rewritten about 100,000 times. As a guide, NV memory rewriting should
be 10 times or less a day when you program applications.

CAUTION
See the ESC/POS Application Programming Guide for more details.

NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored. Even with a serial interface
model whose communication speed is low, high speed graphics printing is possible.
Use the TM-T88V Utility to register graphics.
You can also print and confirm the registered graphics in the NV graphics memory print mode.
For detailed information about the TM-T88V Utility, see the TM-T88V Utility Users
Manual.
For information about how to use the NV graphics memory print mode, see "NV
Graphics Print Mode" on page 89.

User NV Memory
You can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including
customizing or maintenance information of the printer.

23

Memory Switches (Customized Value)


With the memory switches (customized value), which are software switches for the printer, you
can set paper width, print density, font, USB class, interface mode, power supply unit capacity,
automatic paper cut, paper reduction, serial interface transmission speed, and printer model. See
"Setting the Memory Switches (Customized Value)" on page 50.

Receipt Enhancement
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on top or bottom of receipts and watermarks can be
registered.
Use the TM-T88V Utility to register graphics.
For detailed information about the TM-T88V Utility, see the TM-T88V Utility Users Manual.

User-defined Page
You can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: page 255) so that you
can also print characters not resident in the printer.

Maintenance Counter
With this function, printer information, such as the number of lines printed, the number of
autocuts, and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in
NV memory. You can read the information with the Status API of the APD or OPOS ADK to use
it for periodical checks or part replacement.
Maintenance Counter can be checked with the TM-T88V Utility or in a self-test.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the power supply unit or the printer.
Make sure the wall socket power supply satisfies the rated voltage requirements
of the power supply unit. Never insert the power supply cable plug into a socket
that does not meet the rated voltage requirements of the power supply unit.
Doing so may result in damage to both the power supply and the printer.
Before removing the DC cable connector from the PS-180, make sure the power supply
cable has been removed from the power supply unit; then grasp the arrow-marked section
of the connector and pull straight out.
The optional power supply box (OT-BX88V) is available. You can store the power supply
unit in the box attached to the printer.

Chapter 2 Setup

Adjusting the Paper Roll Near-End Sensor


Below are two situations where a roll paper NE sensor adjustment is required.
To adjust the detection position to suit the diameter of the roll paper core used.
To adjust the detection position of remaining amount of paper.
Since roll paper cores vary slightly in shape, depending on paper roll design and
manufacturing tolerances, it is impossible to detect the remaining paper exactly.
Use roll paper with a core inner diameter of 12 mm {0.47"} and outer diameter of 18 mm
{0.71"} so that the NE sensor can detect the remaining paper as accurately as possible.

Follow the steps below to adjust the roll paper near-end detector.

Chapter 3 Application Development Information

Application Development Information


This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer
application development.

How to Control the Printer


Use a driver or ESC/POS commands to control the printer.

Selecting a Driver
Choose one of the drivers listed in "Printer Drivers" on page 82, depending on the application
operating environment.
For information about the driver operating environment, see the installation manual for each
driver.

When you newly develop an application


Use APD if you want to print True Type fonts or print many graphics.
OPOS ADK is recommended for system extensibility. An OPOS driver is provided for various
peripherals and it is a POS industry standard now. It enables POS system efficiency, reduction
of development cost, and effective use of application assets.

You can use all functions, including ones not supported by OPOS ADK or APD, by using
ESC/POS commands through your driver. Use the DIRECT I/O function of OPOS ADK, the
control A command of APD, or Status API to send ESC/POS commands from each driver.
(See "ESC/POS command functions" on page 76.)

75

ESC/POS Commands
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system. With ESC/POS commands, you can
directly control all the TM printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifications or
combination of commands is required, compared to using a driver.
To use ESC/POS commands, you need to agree to a nondisclosure contract first and obtain the
ESC/POS Application Programming Guide. Ask your dealer for details.
The ESC/POS command functions are listed below. See the ESC/POS Application Programming
Guide for more details.

Chapter 5 Replacement of the TM-T88IV

Replacement of the TM-T88IV


The TM-T88V is designed so that it can smoothly replace the TM-T88IV. This chapter describes
precautions for the replacement.

Compatibility
Printing
The printing and character specifications are the same as those of the TM-T88IV. Without special
configurations, the TM-T88V prints the same results as the TM-T88IV prints.

Print Density
The print density of the TM-T88V can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) as can the TM-T88IV.
Set the density the same as for the TM-T88IV to print in the same print density.
The print density can be set also with a customized value. The initial setting of the
customized value is Depends on the DIP switch settings. If the customized value is
changed, the value set with the customized value is enabled. (See "Setting the Memory
Switches (Customized Value)" on page 50.)

Two-Color Printing
You cannot use the paper for two-color printing (P320RB/P320BB) with the TM-T88V, which you
can use with the TM-T88IV.

Number of Head Energizing Parts


For the TM-T88V, the initial setting of the number of head energizing parts is One-part
energizing. You can change the setting with the customized value (See "Setting the Memory
Switches (Customized Value)" on page 50.); however it does not usually need to be changed.

99

Printable Area (for 80 mm Width Paper)


The printable area (left/right margins, print start position from the autocutting position, print
start position from the manual cutting position) of the TM-T88V is the same as that of the
TM-T88IV.

Cutting Method
The TM-T88V uses the partial cutting method (cutting with one point in left edge left uncut) as
does the TM-T88IV.

Manual Paper Feed


Manual paper feed is not possible with the TM-T88V while it is possible with the TM-T88IV after
printing pauses.

Receive Buffer
You can set the receive buffer of the TM-T88V to 4KB or 45 bytes with DIP switch 1-2 as with the
TM-T88IV. The buffer full condition and buffer full release condition of the TM-T88V are the
same as those of the TM-T88IV.

Memory Capacity
The sizes of the download buffer and NV graphics data of the TM-T88V are the same as those of
the TM-T88IV.

Electrical Characteristics
The operating voltage of the TM-T88V is DC24 7%, the same as the TM-T88IV. The current
consumption differs, depending on the print duty.
The TM-T88V does not have a low power consumption mode, which the TM-T88IV has, so
you cannot set DIP switches 2-3 and 2-4 to on. Use the newly added low power load mode
instead.

100

Chapter 5 Replacement of the TM-T88IV

DIP Switches
The functional assignments of DIP switches are the same as those of the TM-T88IV except for
DIP switches 2-3 and 2-4.
Since the TM-T88V does not have a low power consumption mode, do not set DIP switches 2-3
and 2-4 both to ON.

Printer Status
The TM-T88V goes to the same status under the same conditions as the TM-T88IV. You can
replace the TM-T88V with the TM-T88IV without modifying applications.

Logo Registration
The TM-T88V can register logos in the NV memory (NVRAM) with the TM-T88V Utility, while
the TM-T88IV can register logos with the TM Flash LOGO Setup Utility for NVRAM (TM-Flogo).
For detailed information about the TM-T88V Utility, see the TM-T88V Utility Users Manual.

Driver Compatibility
You can operate the TM-T88V with a driver for the TM-T88IV or the TM-T88III.
You cannot operate the TM-T88IV with a driver for the TM-T88V.

Advanced Printer Driver


When the TM-T88IV was controlled by APD Ver. 4.00 ~ 4.04, you need to change the TM-T88V
printer model name to TM-T88IV using the customized value. (See "Setting the Memory
Switches (Customized Value)" on page 50.)
When the TM-T88IV was controlled by an APD other than Ver. 4.00 ~ 4.04, you can replace it
with the TM-T88V without modifying the APD.

OPOS ADK
If the TM-T88IV was controlled by an OPOS ADK, you can replace it with the TM-T88V without
modifying the OPOS ADK.

101

USB Low Power Consumption Mode


With the TM-T88V, you can enable the USB low power consumption mode with DIP Switch 1-8,
just as you can with the TM-T88IV. (See "For Ethernet/Wireless LAN/USB Interface" on page
46.)

Maintenance Counter
The TM-T88V has a maintenance counter just as the TM-T88IV has.

Reverse Mode
The transfer of status data from the printer to the host proceeds in the nibble or byte mode.
This mode allows data transfer from an asynchronous printer under the control of the host. Data
transfers in the nibble mode are made via the existing control lines in units of four bits (a nibble).
In the byte mode, data transfer proceeds by making the 8-bit data lines bidirectional. Both modes
fail to proceed concurrently in the compatibility mode, thereby causing half-duplex
transmission.

A signal name with a rule above it indicates an L active signal.


Bidirectional communications cannot take place, unless all signal names for both sides
correspond to each other.
Connect all signal lines using a twisted-pair cable. Connect the return side to the signal
ground level.
Make sure the signals satisfy electrical characteristics.
Set the leading edge and trailing edge times to 0.5ms or less.
Do not ignore Ack or BUSY signals during a data transfer. Ignoring such signals may
result in data corruption.
Make the interface cables as short as possible.

Status transmission from printer with USB interface


In order to ensure that there is no lack of status data, it is necessary to periodically retrieve status
data at the host computer.
Unlike RS 232C transmission, it cannot spontaneously interrupt data transmission to the host
computer.
The printer has a 128-byte status data buffer. Statuses that exceed the buffer capacity are
canceled.
